Default Intake manifold leak

Just put my engine back together and my intake is leaking at both cylinders. Its a SE manifold. I tried to loosen, reposition and retorque but leak is still there. Any tricks for sealing it up?

same here, new gaskets still leaks when spray carb cleaner around flanges, use wd40 no change in idle as if no leaks, aerosol based solvents may be misleading???
